Your infrastructure or ours. Same platform.
Run Formance self-hosted on your own Kubernetes for full data sovereignty, or in a dedicated single-tenant private cloud managed by Formance.
Start open source: Ledger and Connectivity are MIT-licensed and freely deployable anywhere. Enterprise adds the proprietary modules, the operational stack, and the support package, in whichever deployment model fits your regulatory posture. About 60% of Formance customers self-host; the rest run a dedicated private cloud. Either way, non-production environments can be created at will at no additional cost.
The three ways to run Formance
Ledger and Connectivity under MIT. Deploy anywhere, inspect everything, no usage restrictions. The evaluation and early-stage path.
Deploy on your own Kubernetes (AWS, Azure, GCP) via official Helm charts, Operator, and Agent. Your infrastructure, your data, your region. The choice of most regulated customers.
Fully managed single-tenant environment in a dedicated AWS account, in the region you choose (for example EU Ireland or US N. Virginia). 3 availability zones, 6-node replication, 99.9% uptime SLA.
What Enterprise adds in any model
Flows, Reconciliation, and the proprietary connector set on top of the open-source core.
SSO, RBAC, audit logs, observability, real-time events, Console and Admin portal.
24/7 incident response, 30-minute Severity-1 first response, multi-layer escalation, onboarding and success plan.

Questions, answered
01 / CAN WE START MANAGED AND MOVE TO SELF-HOSTED?
Yes. A Formance-hosted environment runs in a dedicated AWS account that can be transferred to you for self-hosting later, so the migration path is an account handover, not a rebuild.
02 / WHO OPERATES WHAT IN SELF-HOSTED?
You run the infrastructure; Formance provides the Operator, Helm charts, upgrade tooling, and support that covers provisioning, management, and monitoring. Hybrid observability is possible.
03 / WHERE DOES OUR DATA LIVE?
Self-hosted: on your infrastructure, wherever you run it. Private Cloud: in a dedicated AWS account in your chosen region, with backups replicated only within the same jurisdiction.
04 / WHAT ABOUT ENVIRONMENTS?
Create non-production environments (dev, staging, sandbox) at will at no extra cost. Production deployment count is part of the contract.
